Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Turbocharger and intercooler, alloy wheels, Falken tires, wind, black side skirts, power windows, air conditioning, aftermarket stereo and speakers.

Condition

Clean original engine bay. Very sound original paint. Some small cracks around rear window but otherwise very good. Very good lightly worn interior other than unsightly aftermarket speakers cut into the doors. 19,642 miles on the odometer. Esprits of this vintage are often beat up and falling apart, neglected or modified. This one, however, is quite good. It's not perfect, but is there a used Lotus that is?

Market commentary

Four cylinder Esprits are more or less budget exotics, but this car deserved quite a bit more. Harrisburg isn't Lotus country, and the seller was wise to hold onto this car and wait for the next outing.
